bin31z Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 (edited) I didn't like the bottle when I first opened it. I just couldn't get a grasp of all the different flavor notes. After having been open for a while and breathing, it is a beautiful pour. Light honey, spices, dried orange peel, mint, cloves, nuttiness on the nose. Without water, its a bit too much and a little bit of water really helps, or alot. Palate is also lightly sweet, delicate spices and mint on the finish. This is one of those bottles that really make me understand what a "premium" bourbon is like. Edited January 25, 2014 by bin31z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Creggor Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Ok Recently Jan 2014 I ran across three bottles of the 2013 Limited Edition Barrel Strength Single barrel OBSK I paid $99.99 per bottle.. I have yet to open one and taste it.. I am waiting for a sepecial ocassion.. I do have a couple of bottles of regular FR Single Barrel.. They are on the store shelfs in our area for $39.99 but it does look like they are slowly being bought up.. Cheers P.S the lable staed 6559 bottles and they were numbered..

mbroo5880i Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 I saw one at MSRP a few months back and passed. I should have picked it up. I was holding out hope for either PVW or BTAC. That was stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smknjoe Posted January 26, 2014 Share Posted January 26, 2014 Any details on the 2014 limited sgl brl? Mashbill age etc.Good question. Seems about time for details on this one to roll out.Someone "in the know" mentioned what it was the other night. I can't remember which recipe (OESF maybe?) it was but I'm pretty sure it was one that hasn't been used for the LE's yet. Does that SB member want to start the thread? Hint, hint, hint...

Old Dusty Posted May 8, 2014 Share Posted May 8, 2014 (edited) Resurrecting this thread to say: Barrel proof OBSK @13 yrs is bourbon Nirvana. And I want to say it here so as not to be guilty of jumping on the hype wagon of one of the last semi-available super premiums. Just had my last pour of my last bottle of the 2013 and even at the end, oxidation and all it is one of the best pours I have experienced. There I said it and this will not be repeated in the open forums.PS I do have a PS 1B OBSK in the bunker which is a bit younger but holds much promise.

Spicy, citrusy, just lovely. Have a couple more unopened and waiting for me in the bunker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
